Anyone feel a bit worse when first starting it? Groggy, low, more anxious? Does it pass?

I felt nauseous and groggy. I haven taken lithium for years and I don't get any side effects.

@Novita Did that pass? I feel really awful and very irritated and low. I feel much worse and I didn't think it would effect me like that.

Anyone else? I really don't think I want to take another one.

When I started lithium second time I felt much better within a week. My mood got stable and continued to be so.
